The last: some supposed Filtered images of concept art showing the renewed aspect of Hogwarts and the Diagon Alley. Emotion? All. Authenticity? Question of debate.

Harry Potter HBO Max series
The Harry Potter series It promises a much more faithful adaptation to the novels of what we have seen in the cinema between 2001 and 2011. However, this does not mean that we will see from scratch a reinvented Hogwarts. The leaked images – if they are real and not the result of some playful – show a Castle very similar to filmsBut with some aesthetic differences in the towers and external structures.
Him Diagon AlleyOn the other hand, he moves away from the unique style we met on the big screen. Now it seems rather a Small English cityWith more width, inclined roofs, hidden alleys and windows that overflow the details. An environment that, if it reaches the screen, could enrich visual narrative and give greater importance to this commercial corner of the magical world.
Even so, it is important to keep your feet on the ground (even if it is a land of spells). The images could be the work of artificial intelligenceAnd although the means that published them has a certain history of reliability, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between real art and Deepfake magical. There is also the possibility that sketches or simply talented fans are discarded.

Another version of the same or a new era for Potterheads?
The great stranger remains if this series will contribute Something really new or if it will be limited to being an extended version with new faces. Many fans fear to become a kind of remake dish, but HBO Max insists on the fact that it will be A deeper immersion in the magical worldExploring frames and secondary characters who did not shine completely on the big screen.
The intention is clear: conquer both the new audience and the already deliveredopening every season as a portal to new layers of the Rowling universe.
